Conflicts, Choices & Consequences 

By Bill Cottringer

Everyday conflicts—

Between us,

And life,

And others,

And even ourselves.

Conflicts require choices,

Do this,

Or that,

Or both,

Or nothing at all.

Choices have consequences,

Some good,

Some bad,

Some both,

Some neither.

Making right choices,

To get right consequences,

Sometimes easy,

Sometimes difficult,

Sometimes impossible.

We get lots of practice,

To get this right,

Or get this wrong,

But being right,

Is always in sight.
